ENKCA is currently looking for a volunteer to help edit the events and news pages. You could be that person and the time commitment would only be of the order of 15 to 30 minutes a week.

Anyone who can use a computer for email or text editing  should be able to learn how to update the pages in a very short time - under an hour. Training will be given and support is always available from other members of ENKCA.

Would "ENKCA online editor ". . . look good on your CV ?

If you are interested, please contact publicity@eassieandnevay.plus.com for more information 

ENKCA Newsround - situation vacant

A quick catch up of some news - ENKCA 50/50 sweepstake winners, with apologies to all those concerned and especially to Margaret Mowatt who runs this valuable fundraising service for the community. We all appreciate the work Margaret does and offer her our great thanks. Margaret collects the money, arranges the draw by an independent volunteer, delivers prizes to winners and diligently conveys results to the blog editor who has been struggling to maintain the blog over recent months and has now decided to step down from that post.

Anyone interested in taking on what has for the most part been an interesting and entertaining job, working on the blog will be warmly welcomed. It is a good way of meeting people in the community and keeping up to date with what is happening in the area. Training and support will be given; it is not very difficult and is an ideal opportunity to learn new computing skills in a voluntary capacity with the reward of seeing your contribution appear on line. Contact us via the comments section below, by speaking to a director or clicking on any publicity link in the website.

Bigger, Brighter, LOUDER Future!

Life in our community is looking bigger, brighter and better for the new year ahead since we benefited from Angus Council’s Community Grant Scheme award of almost £5,000. ENKCA has installed a new suite of audio visual equipment, improving the facilities available for concerts, dances, classes, lectures and conferences in the community hall.

ENKCA chairman, Bradly Yule, said, “The new sound system has already made an impact on the life of our community. It was installed just in time for our Hogmanay party which raised over £1,800 for community funds. It will be easier now for us to stage concerts and dances; that, coupled with the high capacity digital data projector and full size screen means that when we have a big audience for one of our series of monthly talks, everyone can see the screen and hear the speaker. That’s been a problem for us in the past when we’ve had a full house for guests who didn’t bring their own professional sound system.”

ENKCA’s events calendar currently includes weekly Zumba, ceilidh dancing and yoga classes and regular art group meetings. The monthly lecture series planned to restart in the new year has previously covered topics from the Mongol Rally to the history of map making in Strathmore.

Bradly continued, “We were lucky that our contractors were able to put together a high quality package for us and Angus Council’s generous Community Grant Scheme has allowed us to offer a greatly improved service to the many and diverse users of our hall.”

Hogmanay 2011 : The Reel Fling

Sorry but this event is now SOLD OUT.
Book early for Hogmanay 2012.

Saturday 29th October 2011


After a very successful Coffee Morning held by the WRI from 10am until 12 noon the Halloween celebrations continued in the evening with a Pub Quiz Night.


The Pub Quiz Night had been long heralded by the scary witch who seems to have crashed into one of the supporting pillars of the hall. Fortunately the Hall suffered no damage but the witch has been looking increasingly the worse for wear as the weeks have passed.


The local covens  turned out for the most part in fancy dress and had a great time at the quiz.  From concept to delivery the event was the brainchild of KT Garrett-Sutherland. On the night there was stirling help from an able posse.
Sonia was Bar Wench Extra-Ordinaire & Evie was Head Bar Witch. Seth (Sonia's son) was Death aka general dogs body, glass collector, tidy up-er, quiz paper mover & dish-outer-er, entry fee collector & general wonderful boy!   Maia & Alyssa sold the raffle tickets & munchies - they made an obscene amount of money with their youthful charms!


Help in setting up for the event and tidying up afterwards was provided by a host of ENKCA regulars including Marianne, Philip, Margaret, Ken, Jane, Fiona, Gordy, Jenny and Linda.

(If we have missed anyone let us know - it is so easy to miss someone in the heat of battle)

KT has promised to return in the New Year with more quiz madness.
